No need to bump.
I assume your router is also the modem.
You can doable the wireless portion of the router and the Ethernet still works. You already know that.
You can connect another router using the Ethernet connector. It should setup itself automatically.
What I am suggesting is just use another router for the wireless stuff. Just a plain Jane thing with nothing fancy. Wall mart has some for $25 or less. You do not need the more expensive ones.
But trying to repair the old one is a waste of time. It may be overheating.
